JIMMY ZOOLE: (Mid-late 30’s) An actor who has not made it, but has not, so far, given up trying. Plays everything safe. Life has not been kind to him. His sense of humor has often saved him from flipping out.

VITO ANTONUCCI: (Late 20’s, early-mid 30’s) He’s been through more than his share of scrapes. Humpy, in an off-beat, scroungy, tom-cattish way, Vito would do, and has done, anything to get by. Despite a tacky life, colorful language, and his wise-guy toughness, he is an optimist, a part-time romantic and a sensitive soul.

KATE HOUGH: (Early-mid 30’s) A Pretty, sassy, liberated fashion photographer with a mind and life-style of her own. A girl with very few hang-ups, she is candid and even opinionated, but not without warmth and caring. She has decided to cut off the relationship with Jimmy because the time has now come wherein the hassles of the relationship are outweighing the joys.

FRED GABLE: (Mid-late 30’s) Good-looking teacher. Well-dressed, well-educated. Even though he thinks of himself as with-it and really tries to be, but in actuality, he is a bit behind it.
